Walk with Me

English

By (author): Jairo Buitrago

Translated by: Elisa Amado

Illustrated by: Rafael Yockteng

A simple, imaginative story depicting the complex emotional reality of a girl whose father no longer lives at home.

The girl conjures up an imaginary companion a lion who will join her on the long walk home from school. He will help her to pick up her baby brother from daycare and shop at the store (which has cut off the familys credit), and hell keep her company all along the way until she is safely home. He will always come back when she needs him, unlike her father whom she sees only in a photograph a photograph in which he clearly resembles a lion.
